If you are not a fan of cigarettes, you probably hold your breath as you hurry past the smokers that hang out in front of office buildings, stores and restaurants. Smokers are banished outside because a growing numbers of cities concerned (with the possible) health affects of secondhand smoke have band(banned) of smokers suggests that is(smoking in eateries, workplace and other such)establishments. Turning(Turns out) hold your breath might not be such a bad idea. Because scientists at the University in G at A have found that side box(sidewalk) smokers can generate more pollution than passing cars.

AG is a major college town, and on the weekends, students are in packed shoulder and shoulder outside bars and restaurants. And since smoking is abandoned(banned) inside such locations, plenty of those kids are puffing out of the store(up a storm). That may(made) the G researchers wonder whether outdoor second-hand smoke could present a health harzard on its own. So, it has (they) measured the CO2 levels outside range for head(a handful n.一把；一小撮，少数，少量) of bars and restaurants. Because this gas is also found in car exhaust, the researchers counted numbers of cars and numbers of smokers. And they found the pollution was coming from the people, not the tail pipes. So, next time you strote(stroll v. （悠闲的）漫步，闲逛＝ramble) past by the bunch of(一群，一簇) abundage(the banished vt.放逐，驱逐；消除，排除), take a deep breath and feel free to run.

Evolution continues today, and sometimes we can watch it happening. Researchers in the November 6th additional(edition of) journal science say that they call(caught) in the act a population of butterfly is ecrodor(Ecuador), potentially diverging into 2 distinct species.

XXX(Heliconius) butterfly XXX(spread) across central (and) South America.(这句那个连音。。。) What distinguish differing XXX species is color vary ission(variation，这个词念得真分开) . For instance, in K, tumor(the two most) closely related species are white or yellow, which they may to prefer(prefer to mate with those of) their own color.

In E, there is also white or yellow XXX(Heliconius) butterflies (that live)close to one another and have mated freely. But that situation might be changing. Scientists studied the butterflies in captivity. The 2 types and(differ) just one gene were(删) responsible for color. But yellow males prefer yellow females, while white males go for other(either) color female.

The difference in mate preference could eventually lead to 2 distinct species, as in XXX, with the yellow and white butterflies that no longer which to breed(interbreed v. 使异种交配, 使混种, 使杂种繁殖). The researchers will continue to study the role of gene with(in) both color and main choice, which could spend the populations diverging forever and to(into) new species.

either 应该是指两个中的任何一个吧，也就是白男会去找黄女也会去找白女

哦！了解了。
但是为什么之前用的都是用females呼应males，而这一句只用female呼应males呢？
LeviathaZ 发表于 2009-11-10 15:27

我想是用了either 表示单数，就要用female而不是females~~

谢谢小苗的提醒哈~~真仔细！
那个tumor是我漏了（该打~）~~
were是在WORD里加了删除线的，但是在这里不知为什么显示不出来~

What you eat affects more than physical health? Two new studies have added to growing evidence linking the stomach and the brain.

In a report in proceeding of national academy of sciences, researchers studied how a junk food can trigger addiction behaviors. The brain chemical credical tropical(corticotrophin n. [生化]促肾上腺皮质激素, 亲皮质素)releasing factors CRF is linked to motivation and plays a role in drug and alcohol with draw(withdrawal n.收回，撤退) and relapse. Researchers let rates eat normal foods, then been(binge n.狂饮，无节制的行为) on sugar and chocolate favor XXX(favored snacks). When rates were(went) off the junk, they expressed CRF that（删） just as (do rats) going through withdraw(withdrawal). The rodents also had more exi(anxiety), and were less interested in normal food.

And another study published in archlef(archives, 这个词不会拼) of internal medicine, looked human roots(moods). Researchers followed 160 overweight people. Half of the a low carb very high f of diet, and at half of a high c b, a low f diet.(这句其实不难，就是连音太厉害，耳朵忙不过来了；改的在下面1.) After a year, both groups averaged about 30 pounds weight were lost(loss). And (though) both no groups moved in(mood improved after) the two months, only the low f high c(low-carb, high-fat) group had(kept up) good feelings. So what we eat does just go to what tastes(our waists 腰？), also goes to our brains.
============

1.Half of the(followed) a low carb(low-carb, carb 应该是carbohydrate的简写吧？低碳水化合物) very high fat of diet, and at(ate) half of a high c b(carbohydrate), a low fat diet.

2.那个腰，是泛指肚子的部分吧?

This book stinks, it’s really a bad review. But even (a) classic work starts to smell and(when it) gets old enough. Now the chemists have developed (a) technique that identifies what kind of degradation process of an old book were stored as(or historical) document going through, based on the orders(odors) it gives off.(这句话，真是长的我要崩溃了) The report appears in the American chemical society journal XXX(Analytical Chemistry).

And old books for million mastis smelless do the(familiar musty a.发霉的 smell is due to) hundreds of different volume(volatile) organic compounds to guessing(gassing) out from paper and other materials, such as the binding (a.捆绑的  n.捆绑(物)). The particular bland(blend,混合物) of compounds results from specific degradation pathways. Conventional analysis techniques require small samples (of the work) for testing, for(further) damaging the book. But analyzing guesses(the gases) coming from(off) the book is not insave(noninvasive).

The researchers are identifying 15 organic compounds that make good markers to track the condition of books. They know(note that) their system could be used to value(evaluate) the type of document, its present condition and it’s likely future, thus helping preservation XXX(preservationists map a) strategy to save XXX(historical) works.

We all (love, 这个根本听不出来。。) getting something new, but then we have to move (around) our current (clutter, 零乱)to find a place for it. Well, looks (like) things work in the same way in the brain. Because according to the(a) study published in the journal cell, new born neurants(neurons, 晓得神经元，不会拼) in brain’s memory center make room for new memories by moving out the old ones.

Ten years ago, scientists discovered that the brain makes neurants(new neurons) well into it doutered(adulthood). These (cells) arise up(删) in campus(hippocampus,太专业了), and the(a) brain (region) associated was(with) learning in(and) memory. So everyone figured these new rooms(neurons) must help new memories, although no one knew how.

Working with rodents, researchers watched what happens when they either prevented newruants(neusrons) for being born or make them spraut(sprout) faster. They found (that) new neurnats(neurons) help (move) older memories out of the mind campus(hippocampus) and into long term storage in the neon cortext(neocortex n. [解]新(大脑) 皮层). Such shorflit(shuffling), they think, may free off(up) space of campus(in hippocampus) and increase its capacity for taking in something new. The new memory in study happened for fewer(to be fearful) ones, but the researchers think the process applied to all memories stored in XXX campus(the hippocampus), which means you brain’s probably moving XXX(stuff around) right now, so you can remember the story.

hippocampus :a curved elongated ridge that extends over the floor of the descending horn of each lateral ventricle of the brain, that consists of gray matter covered on the ventricular surface with white matter, and that is involved in forming, storing, and processing memory

Will you pick the sweetness, or golly waper, the hammer or the struch? (“Sweetness” or “The Gollywhopper?”
“The Hammer” or “Stretch?”) Those are all nick names of(for)
ugly insects. By choosing, you will help air on stay in university of A U(Arizona State University and Northern Arizona University) crown the ugliest insects in the world. Now in the(its) second you are(year) online, the contest pits ten unattractive insects against one another.

Amazing up close mark shorts(mugshots) come up(删) with (informational) the tip bits(tidbits, n.花边新闻) like “sucks plant juices” and “stings can be fettled(fatal)”. The ugly bugs contest is hosted by air uses(A.S.U ’s) biology’s(Ask A Biologist) program, which (attempts to) get the university science (out) into the world. But not so far as(that) you need to exterm later(an exterminator 杀虫剂，本意“终结者”).

It seemed like a good idea, because rivers(and ponds) in Bangladesh were contaminated with bacteria Bangladeshis wishes to wealth(switched to wells). But soon after, in the early 80’s, researchers realized those were harming Bangladeshis was a new poison—arsenic.

The underground settlement gangages doubt at(sediment of the Ganges Delta) contains arsenic. In 2002, MIT researchers determined that micro digestic(microbe digesting) organic carbon were freeing abstract(that trapped) arsenic. But, where did the carbon come from, and who was the arsenic get(getting) into the water supply? The MIT team now has(thinks they have) the answers which they report in the journal nature geo science(Geoscience).

Using a 6 square miles tests plot, they found (that) the organic carbon comes from the shallow pounds ducted(that were dug to) provide soil from(for) flood protection. The carbon compounds sink in the pond water and seeing(seep) bander grounds(underground) were(where) bacteria digest them, setting a(up the) perfect chemical condition to free up the soil arsenic. Ground affluence water(Groundwater flow) then brings the arsenic(rich) water to the wells.

Future wells dug deep enough, to the low arsenic part of the algrupher(aquifer n. 含水土层) could help. Rise(Rice) fields feuter(filter) arsenic (from the)water, so wells under those fields could also be part of an answer to problem affecting millions of Bangladeshis.

November 24th marks the 150 adversory(150th anniversary) of the publication Darwin’s argenal(Original of) species on November 19th , XXX confirt(a guy named Ray Comfort,) who does not accept evolution, will celebrate the fact that when the copyrights were aspered(expire) and works on(enter the public) domain you to do them you will(you’re free to do with them what you will. 太连了这段) Thus Comfort will be distributing this own edition of Darwin’s masterwork, with a new introduction. This is roughly the equivalent of me fingerpainting on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel so as to improve the work.

According to the folks at the National Center for Science Education, the NCSE, who monitor efforts to interfere with evolution education in public schools, Comfort in his intro repeats numerous familiar anti-evolution claims. For example, that there’s a lack of transitional fossils and that the second law of thermodynamics makes evolution impossible. These assertions have been disproved more often than the chant” Yankees suck”.

The NCSE has set up a Web site with useful, truthful info. It’s at www. Contdissdarwin.com. All one word, no apostrophe. Indeed, don’t’ diss Darwin. It leads me to discomfort.

。。。根本没心思听，结果一看，连看都看不懂他在讲什么。怎么老是有人跟达尔文过不去啊
这两天太难过了~~完全无法投入
